Facts about E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase RNF138.
Two distinct, non-exclusive, mechanisms have been proposed. According to a report, regulates the option of double-strand fracture repair by favoring homologous recombination over non-homologous end joining (NHEJ): acts by mediating ubiquitination of XRCC5/Ku80, leading to eliminate the Ku complex from DNA breaks, thereby promoting homologous recombination (PubMed:26502055).

Chromosome. Recruited at DNA damage sites (PubMed:26502055). Localizes to sites of double-strand break: localization to double-strand break sites is mediated by the zinc fingers (PubMed:26502055, PubMed:26502057).
